Hi, we’re just wrapping up (only went over by ~20 minutes).

Ok chat online

I’d recommend broadening the policy item for a bus to PCH to something more general (e.g. major hospitals and airports) and then put PCH as a single dot point in a list as one example.

Also mentioned a UQ Lakes bus tunnel.

Yes, I was going to mention that as well. Seqta has put that out there for a while now as well.

I would like the policy to provide specific example of Skygate being a new transit hub for the airport precinct as well as providing a plausible example for Cairns Airport.

Could the 680 outbound service the hospital? Inbound it could retain the Gympie Road route for easy transfer to the 330.

Post anymore minutes from the meeting today as well if you can?

Apologies Rowan and Alex, I registered here some weeks ago to say I would come to the meeting today, but in the end I wasn’t able to come at this time. I hope the meeting went well.
